A National Geographic approved tour, we see dolphins on every trip up-close and personal. Join the crew of the Dolphin Explorer cruising the waters of Marco Island in search of dolphins as part of the only dolphin research study in Southwest Florida. On our trip, you will visit rookeries, estuaries and a barrier island that you can explore and shell. Two trips daily, seven days a week. A fabulous family adventure.

We spent three wonderful hours with the crew and the 21 dolphins we saw.
Entertainment and education for both adults and children.
It was a great trip with a well informed and polite crew.

I would definitely recommend The Dolphin Explorer. It was a very enjoyable and educational experience. The staff was engaging, friendly and especially great with the kids. A super way to spend the day!!!!

I surprised my 11-year old daughter with a trip to FL, and our encounter on The Dolphin Explorer WELL EXCEEDED my expectations! I would do it again in a heartbeat! Our guide (Bob) was SO knowledgeable about the local dolphins, and taught us a lot about them in general. On 3 occasions we had dolphins chasing our wake which was...

We were on vacation in Naples and decided to take to kids to see the dolphins. It was a great experience and great to entertain the kid for a morning. We saw lots of dolphins and the stop at the beach was great. The staff was great doing everything to ensure we all were having a great time.
